| - | ====== Die Grinder ====== | + | Usually, cutting the end off a bolt requires sanding / filing the cut area to deburr / chamfer the end. \\ |
| + | However, the Dremil tool cuts at a high speed with a thin cutting disc. \\ | ||
| + | Keep the cutting blade perpendicular to the threads while cutting and, most of the time, deburring the cut end is optional or at least minimal. \\ | ||
| + | There is no need to install a nut and back it off the threads as you would normally do when using a hack saw or grinder. \\ | ||
